This study investigates the impact of perceived risk, perceived deception, and negative emotional factors on consumer distrust, dissatisfaction, and boycott intentions towards both YouTubers and products that fail to adequately disclose paid advertisements, commonly referred to as "hidden advertisement." Conducted through an online survey, 306 YouTube viewers from South Korea participated in the study. The findings reveal several key insights. Firstly, perceived deception, perceived risk, and negative emotional factors are identified as contributors to increased consumer distrust and dissatisfaction. Secondly, both consumer distrust and dissatisfaction exhibit positive correlations with boycott intentions towards YouTubers and products. This research seeks to unravel the intricacies of online consumer boycott intentions and aims to elucidate the underlying reasons behind such actions. It is noteworthy that in this context, the ramifications of boycotts extend beyond influencers or YouTubers alone, impacting consumer distrust and dissatisfaction, thereby influencing boycott intentions towards the associated products and exerting a lasting impact on a company's branding efforts.

Building on Technology Readiness and Acceptance Model(TRAM), the study aimed to examine how technology readiness affects consumers' perceptions of ease of use, usefulness, and risk, which in turn predict their intention to use retail service robots. Specifically, the study proposed that technology readiness motivators (optimism and innovativeness) would influence perceived ease of use and usefulness, while technology readiness inhibitors (discomfort and insecurity) would affect perceived risk. The study further examined if the perception factors (ease of use, usefulness, and risk) contribute to intention to use retail service robots. A survey method was used with data collected from Korean consumers. The final sample size was 418. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings of the study revealed that technology readiness motivators positively affected perceived ease of use and usefulness while innovativeness had no impact on usefulness. All the inhibitors increased perceived risk. Lastly, as hypothesized, perceptions of ease of use, usefulness, and risk predicted intention to use retail service robots. This study extended the retail technology literature by applying and validating TRAM to the context of consumer acceptance of retail service robots. The study further helped marketers and retailers by highlighting the importance of technology readiness in improving consumer perceptions and responses towards retail service robots.

This paper examined how men and women differ in the attitude and behaviour of financial risk tolerance. The results showed that women were less risk seeking than men in financial risk tolerance. The results of the investment simulation indicated that men invested in higher risk assets like stock. In contrast, women prefered to invest in lower risk assets like real estate. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that if investors have the propensity to take more risk they allocated their money to higher risk assets in the simulation. This analysis also showed that the surveyed respondents invested in risky assets if they had experience in high risk investment in the past.

Food safety has been a growing consumer concern over the last few decades, and remains a priority for consumers, the food industry, and regulatory agencies alike. Although consumer concern for food safety has increased, consumer confidence has decreased. The emphasis on food safety is related to that of preliminary risk management. The ability to collect and provide food risk information is a key element in enhancing the way food safety authorities protect consumers from risk. This review aims to investigate the current situations of international organizations, as well as several countries' systems for collecting and providing food risk information. Through the comparison and analysis of each system, this review proposes strategies to establish a systematic collecting of information and provision of infrastructure in Korea. To develop an information collection system suited to Korea's situation, it is necessary for Korea to strengthen interactions and cooperation with other trade partners through the enlargement of international networks. Such efforts on food risk communication should be made by providing high quality and clear information.

본 연구의 목적은 셀프서비스기술(SST)의 특성과 소비자 특성이 외식업체에서의 SST에 대한 소비자의 저항과 만족에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 외식업체에서 SST를 이용한 경험이 있는 20대에서 50대까지의 일반 소비자를 조사대상으로 선정하여 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였고, 최종 343부의 자료를 분석에 활용하였다. 다중회귀분석을 통해 가설을 검증한 결과, 편의성과 기술통제성이 낮을수록, 복잡성, 사회적 위험, 관계지향성이 높을수록 SST에 대한 소비자 저항이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 편의성, 유희성, 기술통제성이 높을수록, 사회적 위험과 관계지향성이 낮을수록 SST에 대한 소비자 만족이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 소비자의 저항을 낮추는 동시에 만족을 높이기 위한 전략을 제안한다는 점에서 실무적 가치가 있고, SST에 대한 소비자의 양가적인 반응에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명한다는 점에서 관련 연구의 확장에 기여할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 밝혀진 점들을 참조하여 SST에 대한 소비자의 양가적인 반응을 심도 있게 파악하는 것이 요구된다.

Purpose - The growth in consumers' online shopping has even been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the purchase can be made from any countries online, the purpose is to examine the effect of the country of the online retailer (COOR) on consumers' perceived risk and purchase motivation, focusing on the retailer not on the brand. Design/methodology - Survey data from online shoppers are analized using the structural equation model. Findings - COOR, like COO of the brand manufacturer, positively affect consumer's purchase intension. First, the images and the perceived psychic distances of the COOR affects both perceived risk and purchase confidence. Secondly, this perceived risk and confidence they put on the transaction then affect the purchase intension of the consumer. Originality/value - We show that the quality of the signal comes not only from the manufacturer-branded product item itself with a certain COO, but also from the retailer who carries it.
